Who are EA kidding with Mass Effect 2 PS3.

PS3 zealots are only happy about this not being exclusive to the 360 anymore, not happy to be able to play the game.  I was thinking this would do well as its a great game but the more I read from those types on this site I think the game won't sell well at all.  A wasted effort released to an ungrateful fanbase.

For the record, as a 360 only owner I would STILL pay full price for MGS4 if it came over.  And, from what I've heard, its surely no ME2.

I'm gonna call BS on this or at least argue it goes both ways, point of reference FF13. ME2 won't sell squillions on the ps3 but it won't sell dog turd either. It bugs me how you are always keen to argue ps3 fans only "care" about this game because it's not a 360 exclusive anymore.

FFXIII sold (PS3/360) 1.25 mil/960k in Americas and 1.33 mil/730k in EMEAA, where it was launched simultaneously.  All things considered, 360 owners seemed to embrace it well for a series that didn't have a history on the platform and had an inferior version.  But its not exactly apples to apples, because the game wasn't NEAR as well received as ME2 has been.  Check the GotY awards all over the net.

Never said a thing about PS3 fans.  I have much respect for them.  I said PS3 ZEALOTS.  The term fanboy has lost its power with so many ones of different consoles running rampant.  Zealotry more reflects their behavior.

Are we going to ignore the ones who were only hyped for FF13  becuase it was coming the 360 and had no interest in the game whatsoever? This fanboy/zealot whatever you want to call it is a 2way street, the way you act as if only the ps3 side has this is quite shocking. Sure the pricing sucks but at least wait for the game to release before accusing ps3 fan(boys)/zealots whatever of ignoring the game.

Don't deny the £5 vs £40 price is not a sticking point.

Nor is the fact it's a year late, because you know, year late ports always sell so well.

It's not impossible to argue that everyone who wanted to buy this game  already bought it on the 360 and pc.

Not to mention the fact that everyone keeps droning on and on about how the comic does not compare to the "experience" of actually playing ME1 and how that's necessary in the enjoyment of ME2.

Just because it doesn't sell trillions doesn't mean the ps3 "zealots" only care because it's no longer exclusive, if you look at it clearly, it's not being given the best start.
